Why still play?

[Lord Nabin]

Irulia dear,
I am queen of all I survey as it is.... who needs a title. Take it from a RL title holder, its not worth the paper its printed on to 99.9% of the world.
Funny thing is if I quit UO would it matter? IDK There are alot more players in UO then many see running around the citys or hear on chat... Like me they prefer their play in the limelight and keep to select places. Try banking at the obscure banks in UO and see who pops in.. you would be very surprised how many people are on and you never see them.
Why do I keep 47 to 53 accounts? Simple really. Depending on the shard some accounts are built strictly for that place, and as friends moved away from UO I tucked them in my world. Some have no characters on my main shards... while on the side shards I have a thriving pack of talents that rival my mains.
I once said if they ever closed down shards and said ok we open the character list for you to move your people..... I swear I'd have 10 to 20 pages on my mains of them!!
Only thing is Mesanna would have to move their homes .. lock stock and barrel... I am not REdoing the deco!!!! Though I do still have 8 or 9 castles to redeco... got a cleaning bug a few months back and well............... though I know where all the stuff is its needing me to sit my duffus down and design a home plan again.... Now id Bonnie and the crew would please fix the multi tile placement near the front of doors and walls I would be happy... oh and while she is at it fix the bloody fireplace placement on second floors in castles thats been busted for over 10 years please.... oh sorry boy do I go off on uo hehe ok well now you know what drives me.. UO is so much fun.
You only live once and time is fleeting by at a staggering pace.... If your wanting 2 accounts why not?
Think of all the junk you buy in a month that is way more then a subscription for one.... Smokers... a pack is how much??? You fast food junkies.. how much was that burger and fries... not to mention the soda...?
A trip to the films.... omg the cost of a pair of tickets is nearly 3 month sub! if you toss in the popcorn and other treets ........a year !!!!!!
UO is not expencive in any means... Just for giggles for one month keep a journal of what not needed items you buy .... gum, soda, super sized meals, etc things that are really not needed for life and add it up... how many accounts for how long could you have? It will be eye opening...
Need an excuse for the mate? Easy tell them your UO accounts are keeping you from eating too much or smoking too much... as you change your habits and enjoy the game. Now I dont say replace your time wiht family or your outdoors activitys with the game( you need fresh air and exersize) .. rather that time for you that your mind needs .

I sure love having you around

I'd have to say if it wasnt for housing I'd probibly would have left for good a decade ago. Ten dollars a month is so little money to maintain the house and items that I just keep the accounts active. The house keeps me bound to the game. If my houses were to vanish so would I.

so you haven't played UO in almost a year yet your feel comfortable enough to give others advice on if they should or should not come and play.... and you are here posting in the forums of a game that you don't play anymore.... and haven't played for almost a year.... i find that strange.

??? he said he quit because he felt mesanna wouldn't make EM changes. now she's the lead. what's so "strange" about his opinion? lol...he didn't like the direction with the EMs and now the person who directed them has more power than ever. not sure what a year off did but strengthen his claim. plus, he expressed a reason why he disliked UO rather than just saying it "sucks," or some other nonsense. nothing wrong, there, IMO.

I activated my account to see. If I did a trial account there would be no way of me playing. We'll see how this goes.

Thanks

Hopefully it goes well
